I don't, and I really wish Perl did it more often. Every time I write
Some::Class::I::did::not::use -> foo ()
and Perl tells me "oh, you didn't load Some::Class::I::did::not::use",
I think "well, if you know what's missing, why don't you just do it
for me". [1]
But maybe I'm the only Perl user who appreciates DWIM.
